Data showed that Coryell County welcomed 11,559 students during the 2021-22 school year. Among them, Multiracial comprised 9% of the student body to be the fourth least represented ethnicity in the county.

Education in Texas is often a hot button issue, especially as test scores lag behind other states.

“The problems commonly cited are flaws in the school financing system, relatively low teacher salary, poor test performance by students…dropouts from traditional schools in favor of charter schools…gun violence, and mental health issues," claimed the Texas Almanac.
